Abstract

Digital literacy is a crucial skill set in the contemporary era, encompassing technical proficiency, information and media literacy, data literacy, and more. There are further disciplines that are incorporated into the broad concept of digital literacy, including cybersecurity, online safety, and responsible communication. The importance of critical thinking in digital contexts and the emerging field of digital wellbeing are addressed. There are challenges in achieving digital literacy including the lack of common frameworks and diverse barriers such as access to technology, affordability, and cultural differences. Ultimately digital literacy is something that requires the input of various stakeholders, including educators, governments, technology providers, and community organizations. There is a clear need for a collaborative, multi-pronged approach to address these challenges and the need for common agreement on what digital literacy is.
